I'm wondering what situation is this wikiHow dealing with, where having a gun ready in front of an officer is advised?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"Make friends with the officer by showing off your gun so you can bond over your mutual interest in firearms"

WikiHow to get away with it

Maybe they're listing what not-to-do stuff when you have a dead body in your trunk

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Can confirm. As an ex-corpse for hire I saw someone do this did not end well for them. Fortunately I got in touch with this great necromancer and here we are today

I saw this mom rocking these knockoff LCD backlit Gameboys for her kids with cheaper plastic and buttons with a hundred games to play and still thought to myself "nah, my childhood was still better."

Your DS? What’re you 30?

"Game Gear/Game Boy" for us old fucks. But yeah, shit never changes. My son now does the same with his Switch.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Original gameboy was not backlit. I think you could buy external lights that were like a tiny reading lamp you could attach to the top.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I just used a flashlight.

[–] NakariLexfortaine 1 points 1 year ago

Tiny lamps, magnifiers with lights attached, the little "Lite Worm" you could plug on top that barely did anything besides put a bright spot on your screen...

There was a lot of bad ideas before the concept of a backlit Gameboy left Japan. Because of course they had an exclusive one with a backlight before the GBA was even a thing, let alone the SP.

Do some parents actually go to check if their kids are asleep??

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yap mine would do 2 checks roughly. One about an hour after officially turning the lights out and then once before they went to bed (near midnight).

I learned their schedule after repeatedly getting caught reading and devised various strategies to counter this.

I arose a highly successful boy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What were these various strategies?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Book lying flat under the pillow was a reasonable success.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lol someone actually made a community. One of my favorites from reddit.

Edit: Oh it's you! 😅

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Man, I remember upgrading from a GB Color to a GBA SP, finally being able to play in the dark without this weird magnifying glass / light attachment.

Good old times.
